database all the maintainers that maintain at least one EL branch. I'll mail Toshio to ask whether it is possible. And the text on this page should certainly be shortened.
Toshio kindly answered me. Currently there is no url that can be used for that, but he did a simple script to get that information.
The script is here: http://toshio.fedorapeople.org/pkgdb/id_to_owner.py
The result is here: http://toshio.fedorapeople.org/pkgdb/epel-owner.txt
/me takes a quick look.
The list contains corsepiu, which according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo doesn't want to be a EPEL Contributer and according to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugzilla?tg_format=plain is not maintaining any packages in EPEL directly. Maybe he's co-maintainer somewhere to make sure he sees commits, but the script did not catch that.
And note, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatusNo IMHO definitely should stay to give people a chance to say "Please don't bug me with EPEL at all (not even mails asking if I want to maintain the package)" The page IMHO best stays separately and is not merged into http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/ContributorStatus, as that makes using the page contents in scripts a lot easier.
I think it would be better to see if we can get this into FAS and have a link into FAS to show that datapoint.
Having a page that people may or may not know about and may or may not have changed their minds about is not helpful.
100% agree here. I for one have completely forgotten about the StatusYes/No pages. Hopefully no one cursed me so far because of my mails...
